Fixing Methods - There are various methods of fixing Ancon Support Systems to the structure. Cast-in channels with ’T’ bolts or site drilled expansion bolts can be used with concrete frames. For steel frames the choice is set screws or Ancon Steelgrip into holes in the steeled member, or where there is a metal deck floor, Ancon CombiDeck has a horizontal channel that accepts ’T’ bolts. A range of suitable fixings are available.

Windposts - Large panels of masonry or panels with openings can often be difficult to justify structurally. The traditional solutions have been to either increase the thickness of the wall or introduce an additional column. Ancon Windposts fit within the wall allowing the existing thickness to be maintained.

Windpost design - Ancon Windposts are designed to span vertically between floors to provide lateral support for panels of brickwork. The windposts will usually be restrained by the brickwork and designed as ‘simply supported beams’

Fixings for Windposts and parapet Posts - Connections to the frame can be made in a variety of ways and will depend on the type of post, structure and fixing being used.
